Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led September 11, 1906. Serial No. 834,114.

To all whom it may concern.' Be it known that I, GEORGE M. LAUB, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofthe'ity of New York, State of New York,

have invented certain new 4and usefulImp'rovements in Garment-Patterns, of which the following is `a full, clear, and complete andi` articularly to that c ass of t e same whic are contained in'a sheet.

The object of my invention is to rovide'a' pattern sheet upon which the out ine of'a n .n lines;l thus enabling each or torn from the sheet.

plurality of parts which go to make up a garment are demarked by perforations or scored part to be severed AA further object of my inventionl is to indicate upon the several parts by lines the marginal space required for seam allowances, to indicate by lines and characters where the goods are to be cut,l gathered, tucked, hemmed,ietc., and to describe by words and characters the names of the several parts, together with their relative arrangement when combined in a garment, ail of the words, lines 'and characters being so arranged as to leave space for the insertion of advertising mattei'.

For a full, clear and complete disclosure of In invention, reference maybe had to the fo lowing description and accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters refer to corresponding parts.

In the drawmg, A represents a single sheet made of paper, fabric or other suitable material, which will hereinafter be designated as a blanket sheet. On this. sheet "are repre'- sented the outlines of every part of the complete garment, which in the present 4case is a shirtwaist. These outlines are scored or perforated but preferably scored and erforated in the sheet as is indicated by t e dotted lines a. The scored lines or perforations are made in such a manner as to enable the several parts to be severed or torn out to form the several patterns B for the fragmentary arts of the garment. Within the scored ines or erforations are the marginal lines l), along which the goods are to be stitched. These marginal lines set oil' the required space for the seams. Each part or pattern B has printed, lithographed, or otherwise repre- ,sented thereon, the name c of the correspond lor other characters located at the' several corners thereof, to designate its position rela- -tive to the other parts when all are combined into the garment. On one or more of the parte is printed or otherwise represented by dotted full lines the location ofthe cuts e, tucks f and hems g, The crosses hlindicate the points between which the material is to be gathered. When the material is to be cut ina certain direction, as for instancel on. the fold, the said direction is indicated on the pattern, as shown at i.' The descriptive and other matter on the several patterns is so ar# ranged as to leave suitable s ace for advertisin'g matter which is inserte as is indicated by -the rectangular spaces D. This advertising matter :may or ma not relate to the patterns. In order that t e patterns may be perfectly intelligible to a variety of classes of people, the reading matter appears in several different languages. On account of the lack of space, however, the English language alone is re resented on the drawing. p 'p T e entire garment showing all the parts combined may be represented, if desired, upon some part of the sheet, for reference purposes when assembled. Such repre sentation, however, is not essential, but merely serves as acheck u on the characters given at the corners of t e respective patterns. In the upper right-hand corner E of the sheet is printed, Or otherw'se represented, information as to the nature nd size of the garment, the quantity Of ma'tcrial required to make a complete garment and the direotions for using the sheet, as, for instance, the pattern sheet illustrated on the drawing is for a shirtwaist, No. 3908, size 36 inches, the amount of material required being 3?; yards, and the nature of thc material being calico. The directions for use are merely indicated by the dotted lines, The reading' matter thus disposed, like that of the patterns, is likewise in several different languages. When the sheet is folded, this corner E appears on one of the outside folds, thns ena- )ling the person inspecting the pattern in its folded condition to learn more or less of the contents thereof without Opening the samer.

oldmethod of cutting out the patterns in' bein able to quickly' sever each part from the s eet by tearing 'along the perforation or scored lines. Should one of the arts become separated; from 'the,.others, 1t can ybe.- quickly identified Without any reference to the direction sheet. A A

Although I have herein illustrated and described the shirtwaist of particularvsize, style and material,-yet I do not Wish my invention limited to such, as the same may be applied to any garment, made to any style, size or material.

Having thus described my invention, What I 'claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent of tlie`United States is:

1. -As-an article of manufacture, a blanket pattern sheet having demarked thereon the outlines of a plurality of patterns in lines par'- tially severing the same frorn'said sheet, the said patterns' being arranged on said sheet so that` projecting portions of one pattern are adjacent rentrant-portions of the outlines of anotliepattern to occupy the least possible spaceion said blanket sheet irrespective of' t matter upon said parts,

ing said patterns to said sheet, said patterns eing arranged upon said sheet in relatively A Vand-placed u on the goods to be cut, and

arranged Wit respect to each other with projecting portions of each pattern adjacent rentrant portions of the outlines of adj acentr patterns, marks on each part to indicate the manner in Which each pattern is to be placed upon the fabric after the same is detached from .the said blanket sheet, and printed 8. As an article of manufacture, a blanket pattern sheet having demarked thereon the outlines of a plurality of patterns in lines partially severing the same from said sheet the said patterns being arranged on said 'sheet With projecting portions ofone pattern adj acent rentrant portions of the outlines of other patterns and with the smaller patterns similarly arranged between and around the larger patterns to occupy the smallest amount of space irrespective of the position which each pattern shall finally occupy With e position which each' attern shall finallgnlespectto the goods, andindeX lines on each occupy with respect to t e goods, and index lines on each' pattern indicating the manner in Which the same is to be placed upon the fabric after the same'is detached from said blanket sheet. 2. As an article of manufacture, a blanket patternsheet having demarked thereon in nes, the outlines of a pluralityof atterns, said lines weakening saidrsheet a ong the outlines of the pattern but detachably securpattern to indicate the manner in which said pattern is to be placed upon the fabric after the same is detached from the blanket sheet.
